You're fired!" Austin asks Vince to repeat himself, which he does. People throw trash at the executive box, and Vince heads towards the wrong as Austin shows his slight surprise to Vince actually having the guts to fire him. He tells Vince that he may never see him step foot in a WWF ring, and that he might as well start hunting season tomorrow, but he can bet his ass that he has not seen the last of him.

Austin's entrance theme is played, and Austin pulls two last cold ones out of a plastic bag before downing them both to the delight of the crowd.
